An investigation into abuse and missing children at an Indian residential school sparks a reckoning on the nearby Sugarcane Reserve.

St. Andrew's Wesley United Church

A stunning tribute to the resilience of Native people and their way of life, <a href="https://films.nationalgeographic.com/sugarcane" title="https://films.nationalgeographic.com/sugarcane" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">SUGARCANE</a>, the debut feature documentary from Julian Brave NoiseCat and Emily Kassie, is an epic cinematic portrait of a community during a moment of international reckoning. In 2021, evidence of unmarked graves was discovered on the grounds of an Indian residential school run by the Catholic Church in Canada. After years of silence, the forced separation, assimilation and abuse many children experienced at these segregated boarding schools was brought to light, sparking a national outcry against a system designed to destroy Indigenous communities. Set amidst a groundbreaking investigation, SUGARCANE illuminates the beauty of a community breaking cycles of intergenerational trauma and finding the strength to persevere.  doors open at 6:30pm screening at 7:00pm Tickets by donations with proceeds going to <a href="https://www.irsss.ca/" title="https://www.irsss.ca/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Indian Residential School Survivors Society  </a>(IRSSS)
